Zentrales Thema des 1948 in Wien geborenen Gottfried Helnwein ist immer wieder die Leidensfähigkeit des Menschen, die er in schockierender Direktheit am Kind darstellt. „Die Helden meiner Bilder sind oft Kinder“ „Ich sehe die Welt am liebsten durch die Augen eines Kindes. Jedes Erziehungssystem zu allen Zeiten und in allen Gesellschaften hatte immer nur ein Ziel: Menschen gefügig zu machen, sie zu brechen.“ sagt Gottfried Helnwein selbst dazu. Es ist die alltägliche Szenerie wie auch historisierende Ereignisse die er in seinen Werken zeigt. Das Kind wird als das eigentliche Opfer unserer Zeit dargestellt. ...

　今天看到了一组另人震撼的画作，好不容易鼓足勇气将它看完。作者Gottfried Helnwein 是维也纳的另類藝術家．他想要表达的东西，缠着绷带的孩子，幼稚儿童脸上的撕裂之后再次缝合的伤口．如同爬虫类一样冰冷而无机质毫不感觉痛楚的眼神．他充分暴露甚至放大了人类的恐惧和先天不足,却是充满天真和怜悯地看待这一切.特别是那些孩子丧失纯真的脸,另人心痛.这个世界有许多无法言说的东西。战争总是扯出人类最黑暗的那一面。而Helnwein就是那样微笑着用他的画笔来揭露出人性。是他的作品是纳粹的垃圾，还是人们始终无法正视内心深处涌动的黑暗冰冷。 ...

This is the modern beauty. Beauty isn't meant to be seen everyday and the commersialization of the typical beauty has made it ugly. We need something new. And we can get it. Just look... ...

I also discovered the artist Gottfried Helnwein after a period of browsing random images uploaded to Livejournal. He's absolutely brilliant though, sadly, none of his best art seems to be available as posters or prints. ...

Taiturimaisen nerokkaasta piirtäjästä kuin myös lumoavasta kirjailijasta.
"Jumalan ilon" tyttärestä (minua saksankielessä valistuneempi kämppikseni kertoi juuri aamulla minun ollessani enemmän kuin tohkeissani, liki täristen, kaikesta mikä oli järkyttänyt maailmaani tänä aamuna... hän kertoi, että Gottfried tarkoittaa Jumalan iloa). Helnweinin tytär, hän jonka taiteeseen hullaannuin heti kun löysin hänet löysi minut ja kiitti minua vaikka juuri minun on pitänyt useasti kirjoittaa hänelle ja kiittää häntä vain sen vuoksi, että hän on olemassa.

Continuando la perspectiva del ritual, Günter Brus, Rudolf Schwarzkogler, Yoko Ono, Saburó Murakami, Atsuko Tanaka, Gottfried Helnwein, Ushio Shinohara, Peter Wiebel, Otto Muehl, Stelarc (en su etapa inicial de Suspension), entre otros, proponen la exposición de un hecho que sucede en tiempo real y que supera la noción de ficcionalidad o emulación. ...

In one Gottfried Helnwein painting, a child sits slumped at the foot of her bed, her expression strangely blank given the other figure in the bare room — a ghostly, uniformed bunny standing at attention like something out of a nightmarish Nutcracker (or, given the rabbit’s creepy saucer-wide eyes, Donnie Darko). In another, the girl dozes as a Mad Hatter–ish beast, outfitted entirely in yellow, reaches out to scoop her up. Although children wounded both physically and psychologically have appeared in Helnwein's work since the early '70s - earning him no small measure of controversy.. ...

看起来不太可能会结婚的怪怪摇滚客玛莉莲曼森（Marilyn Manson）上周还真的举行了结婚典礼，告别单身生涯。以吓人的装扮和音乐闻名的玛莉莲曼森上周六在爱尔兰和他交往五年多的脱衣舞娘女友Dita Von Teese一起交换了结婚戒指，正式结为夫妻。这对怪怪夫妻的婚礼也很另类，他们没有遵循任何宗教仪式，玛莉莲请来他的一位智利籍地下电影导演好友 Alejandro Jodorowsky来为他们证婚，婚礼举行地点则选在曼森夫妇的奥地利另类艺术家好友Gottfried Helnwein在爱尔兰的住处。整场婚礼十分低调，只有两位新人相当亲近的好友受邀到场观礼，正如玛莉莲在之前接受访问时所说的：“我的婚礼一定会很低调，因为婚礼的重点不在于热闹，我不想利用婚礼来增加我的曝光度。我希望我的婚礼是有意义的，而且会让我们永难忘怀－不过永难忘怀可能有点难，因为到时候你可能已经喝醉了，不会记得什么细节。”
　　玛莉莲在一年多前就向Dita求婚，Dita考虑了一年才答应玛莉莲，但是她还是不准玛莉莲参加告别单身派对。“她说的也是有理啦，”玛莉莲解释道，“她说：‘你在告别单身派对上能干嘛？喝个酩酊大醉然后看小姐跳脱衣舞？那我每天都在跳，你看我就好了啊！’” ...

London - You'd expect Marilyn Manson's wedding to be a headline-grabbing, shock gothic circus of an event. Instead, his wedding to girlfriend Dita Von Teese was a fairytale set in an Irish castle - although he couldn't resist wearing black. Some 60 guests, including Lisa Marie Presley, attended the bash at Castle Gurteen in County Tipperary - home of the Mansons' friend, artist Gottfried Helnwein. Marilyn wore a John Galliano-designed black silk taffeta tux, and Dita a purple taffeta Vivienne Westwood gown with train, petticoats, a tricorn hat and a corset - what else from a burlesque performer? ...

The multi-day event — held at de La Poer Castle, County Tipperary, Ireland, home of the couple's friend, controversial Austrian artist Gottfried Helnwein — included a non-denominational ceremony performed by Chilean underground film director (and Manson friend) Alejandro Jodorowsky, and the bride and groom exchanged personal vows. Manson and Jodorowsky, who directed "Santa Sangre," had been working together on a movie called "Abelcain," a project that has been suspended for the time being. ...

The 36-year-old singer - real name Brian Warner - wed at Gurteen Le Poer Castle, County Tipperary, after arriving in secret.

One thing you can't quibble over is the overwhelming impact of Helnwein's imagery-- ethereal hallucinogenic meditations you enter effortlessly into. Hang one of these whatever-you-wanna-call-it's in a room and it totally permanently dominantly dicates the mood. Not much art can do that, which is what makes Gottfried Helnwein great. ...

for anyone new to helnwein, the dozen or so paintings might not read well - that is, they are an amazing display of ability and are often individually haunting, but the exhibition's title and some of the imagery implies a stronger encompassing narrative than what is present. reading around the frames, so to speak, is required. nothing is spelled out. but this makes sense for this painter in this time, as do my knee-jerk associations: the violently yellow rapist of sin city, the rabbit in donnie darko. such connections do not detract from the works, but instead make their unease more intimate, the neighbor who has done nothing yet whose eyes you dread meeting. ...
